Towards 100% reliability in wireless monitoring networks

Published: 06 October 2006 Publication History

Abstract

High end-to-end reliability is a quality demanded by those with critical monitoring and actuation requirements. To date, Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) users have often accepted sub-optimal reliability as being intrinsic to wireless technologies. We describe a centralized monitoring TDMA network with policies chosen to maximize the number of received packets while maintaining low power characteristics. The methods for detecting and diagnosing packet loss are presented along with expected bounds on their relative impacts. This diagnosis allows for a cataloguing of all the known loss mechanisms and for the analysis of loss in a 50-node network running at 99.99% steady-state end-to-end reliability
